Actually, this should already work with the Wrapper.  Just as can be 
done when
launching the wrapper as a service app, you can also specify additional 
parameters
when installing the Wrapper as an NT service.   The Wrapper will record 
any and all
parameters in the registry so they will be used when the Wrapper is 
launched as a
service.

Simply modify the install script or run from the command line as follows:
Wrapper.exe -i ../wrapper.conf wrapper.debug=true wrapper.etc=etc

The NT service manager will then launch the Wrapper using the following 
command
stored in the registry:
Wrapper.exe -s ../wrapper.conf wrapper.debug=true wrapper.etc=etc
(The -s is an internal command used to tell the Wrapper that it is being 
run as a service)

Cheers,
Leif
